I saw an absolutely tiny pink flowered one in a hedgerow the other day and
it was absolutely enchanting. I'll have to go back for another look
because
I don't think it's a garden escapee.

The people both sides of us on our new allotment are "new" veg gardeners and
when our Sweet Potatoes started running their faces were a picture.
Eventually both sides asked what we were doing cultivating extra large
Bindweed. :-)

I am really ashamed to say this but I had never made the connection between
Ipomoea and sweet potatoes! Ipomoea and 'morning glory', yes!
